Feeder

A humming bird feeder can be a
fascinating addition to your yard or garden. Feeders often provide
unexpected entertainment. Check out our hummingbird feeders for

Humming
birds or "hummers" are like tiny helicopters and their
antics during their mating season are a
treat to watch. They migrate southward and return in the spring,
following the spring flowers as they bloom.

You can attract them with an
inexpensive red plastic tube feeder which will hold a syrupy liquid.
There are also many fancy feeders for hummingbirds, such as the one
pictured above. Here are some of the hummingbird
feedersavailable from our
store.

Hummingbirds
live on insects, nectar from flowers, and the nectar we offer them in
our feeders. Here is an easy recipe for humming bird nectarto fill your feeder. There are many
books and magazines
available on hummingbirds. Be sure to check them out to learn more about hummers.

The
humming birds will hover in the air beating their wings at super speed
creating the humming sound as they feed on your humming bird
feeders. They are particularly attracted to the red colors so make
sure you have at least one bright red one to attract them to your
garden. Humming birds will drink from all feeders that have fresh
clean nectar, but the bright red ones will attract them first.

There are many species of humming birds
that offer an abundance of colors. They are found only in
the Americas. East of the Mississippi live the ruby-throated
humming birds. In the west are many more varieties.

Humming birds also feed on red flowers
and tubular blossoms like honeysuckle. Planting a flower garden
gives the humming birds more reason to hang out at your place. If
you wish to attract only humming birds and want to discourage others, use
a feeder without a perch. Other birds require a perch to rest on as
they feed.

It can be surprising how many beautiful birds are living around us
unnoticed before we offer them a place to eat.
